Brad, During your homework assignment I think you’ll find exposure protection means protecting an adjacent building to the exposure your fire creates, rather than exposing your outsides to a fire in your insides that gets out. And if you have sprinklers, properly installed and maintained, what is the statistical chances of the fire blowing out windows, running up the side of your building, burning it down and killing people. Seems that only happens in inprinklerex buildings. That can be your research project for this quarter.
